i guess 1070 is where it begins to have value eh

yeah or a really cheap 980 Ti like i did.

Been having frustrating flickering issue on my 1 month old AOC Agon AG322FCX
I've done everything I could think of:
1. Rolling back to old drivers, even as old as drivers from April this year
2. Uninstall the monitor driver & use Microsoft's original PNP monitor driver
3. Change cables to new one (tested both DP & HDMI) both using premium new cables
4. Format my PC
5. Downgrade my OS from Windows 10 to Windows 7
6. Switching to different PCI-E slot on my motherboard

The only thing I haven't tried is using a different graphic card. Because I don't have any other graphic card except an R7 250 which sadly, does not support FreeSync

Oh and by the way, the issue happens 3 days after I switch my casing from Phanteks Enthoo Luxe to Cooler Master HAF XB EVO
I highly doubt it's the casing that causes this issue, but I think I should mention it anyway

My PSU is Corsair RM850i which is less than 2 years old. My R9 390X is also less than 2 years old

I believe it's either the graphic card or the monitor itself, but too damn busy to send them for RMA

i got an offer to buy a less than 1 year 980 ti for rm 1650. worth it?

Not really good deal imo

Only happened when Freesync is enabled?

Which model?
Not worth it imo, got mine for Rm1.6k new last year when they doing some sort of clearance sales.

I suggest wait a little longer for price to stabilize since GPU mining craze is slowing down and also see if Vega will bring these prices further down.

around what price would you suggest would be a great deal?.

Yes
Ordered an RX 550 to test, once it arrives will check if the issue is caused by the monitor itself or the graphic card

Hopefully it's the monitor, not the graphic card because I highly doubt I can get R9 390X if I send it for RMA now
Don't want them to replace it with RX 580 because that will be a downgrade
And my HAF XB EVO case is a little cramped to put anything longer than 285mm

U can't beat the miners on getting GC.. What if Vega has great mining capability?

Not sure lol but last time see one forumer selling at 1450 with warranty left

Latest vega news..

http://wccftech.com/amd-rx-vega-64-pricing...499-liquid-599/

US$599 for liquid cooled
That means RM2400 before GST
Hopefully it doesn't go beyond RM3000 when it reaches our shores

yup, lets hope that those miners will let it go.. so that we can get friendly vega price.

RX Vega Nano?

a 300w GPU? the ROI will be slower compare to the more efficient card.

Seem that Freesync and flickering is quite common, have you try lowering the refresh rate to 120hz and see if that eliminate it?

I did. Even tried going as low as 60Hz, the flickering is still there albeit at a lower level

Is Vega diffused at the GloFO or TSMC? I wonder what cause the high TDP. I think the blame is on GloFo?

AMD Ryzen doesn't have the bad TDP, but it suffers the clock speed limitation due to manufacturing limitation under GloFo.

true that. however, i don't think we know for sure how the card can perform... but official eviews should be coming soon, right?

But iinm Vega FE is terrible with cryto mining.
